20k in bookings in the first week with Evolve!

[Marcello Di Gerlando]

Two years in the making - one year late and we have our 1st STR just outside Breckinridge CO. We chose to go with Evolve vaction rentals because of the low cost, low hassle and professional recommendations. So far so good. More to follow as far as Evolve is concerned. My pro formas have been blown to bits. We were aiming for gross rents of between 50 and 60k for the first year. With a goal of getting to 75k in year 2. We definitely came out the gates blasting with 5k of bookings on day 1 and just shy of 20k in our first week. (33days booked) We haven't had any guests yet! First group arrives tomorrow. I'm not sure BP will let me get a link posted here..here its is. Check out this Vrbo rental:

Bathrooms rehabbed and new fireplace installed. Paint, tile and furniture. All in at 600k. We already had an offer to sell for 880k but I think I might have a cash cow.
